Tulips of Palm Sunday

During Palm Sunday services today I noticed a vase of beautiful tulips. The sunshine we had today hadn't reached them yet so they were all closed. I loved the play of color and texture contained in the petals.

That's a stunning photo, Bob - the detail is so clear.

I never tire of looking at your photos!

More proof that a pocket digital camera can take "worthy" photos.

This was taken with my little pocket Leica V-Lux 20.



Here's the same vase an hour later, after the sun opened the blossoms. I don't like the composition as well or the lighting.

Re: Tulips of Palm Sunday

Truly wonderful pictures, Thank you for sharing.

We are so luucky to have our seasons and the rewards they bring us, they all have a different slant, I particularly like late Autumn when the farmers have gathered their harvest and you get the harvest festivals. I especialy enjoy a good mheillea.
